B. Smoking

NYC Regulations require that Cooperative Apartment Corporations and certain other

multi-unit residential buildings adopt and circulate policies regarding smoking. In

recognizing the dangers of secondhand smoke exposure to the health and wellbeing of

Kennedy Street Quad‟s (KSQ) residents, and acknowledging KSQ‟ Bylaws, proprietary

lease and house rules restriction against the creation of nuisances, the following rules

shall be implemented on KSQ Property

4

Smoking is prohibited in all common areas and areas within 25 feet of entrances,

windows and doors. Common areas include common lobbies, hallways, and stairwells;

KSQ Management Office; laundry rooms, storage rooms, garages, and any other enclosed

area under the direct control of KSQ.

Definition of “Smoking”:

“Smoking” means inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette,

pipe or any form of lighted object or device that contains tobacco and any other

substance. This shall also include the use of e-cigarettes or vapor pens.

Smoke Migrating from a KSQ Apartments:

Smoke migrating from an apartment into an adjacent apartment shall be recognized

by the Board of Directors as a nuisance, and thus a violation of the KSQ Bylaws,

proprietary lease and house rules. Once the Property Manager and Board of Directors

is provided detailed notice of this nuisance, the Property Manager will reach out to

the offending shareholder/tenant in order to mitigate the nuisance. If this can‟t be

resolved amicably, then mediation may be recommended y the Board of Directors.

Failure to participate in the mediation or failure to take reasonable steps required to

mitigate the nuisance will be deemed a material violation of the KSQ Bylaws,

proprietary lease and house rules and shall constitute grounds for fines, termination of

the stock and proprietary lease, or any other remedy available to KSQ under the Law.

All remedies hereunder shall be cumulative.

Applicability:

These rules apply to shareholders/tenants and any other persons on the premises,

including guests and servicepersons. Shareholders/tenants are responsible for their

residents and guests while located on KSQ property.

Enforcement

Violation of these rules shall be deemed a violation of the KSQ rules, and may

constitute grounds for fines or eviction, or any other remedy available to KSQ under

the Law.

Considering secondhand smoke to be a serious health hazard, governmental agencies

have increasingly been imposing regulations aimed at restricting and ultimately

eliminating smoking in public places. Most recently, HUD has proposed a ban on

smoking in public housing. It would prohibit lit tobacco products in all public housing

living units, indoor common areas, administrative offices, and in all outdoor areas

near housing and administrative office buildings.

As a private co-op, KSQ would not be subject to this particular ban, but the trend is

clear and inexorable. Your right to smoke is not absolute, even in the confines of

your own homes. To the extent that airborne chemicals, carcinogens, and other toxins

seep into adjacent apartments, or permeate hallways and lobbies, you will be held

responsible.

For your own health and the health of your neighbors, we urge you to:

a) Refrain from smoking in the lobbies, hallways, and laundry rooms;

b) Purchase air purifiers or ironizes for your apartment;

5

c) Think about quitting. Helpful resources can be found at Smokefree.gov.

C. Noise and Required Floor Coverings

No resident shall make or allow any disturbing noises in the building or in any way

interfere with the rights, comfort, or convenience of others, especially between the hours

of 10 pm and 8 am.

80% of the floors of each room (including hallways) in each apartment (with the

exception of bathrooms, kitchens, and closets) shall always be covered with carpets, rugs

with sufficient padding, or material equally efficient for noise reduction. All carpeting

must be positioned to cover the floor in areas where any noise making apparatus is

located and where the most noise can be minimized. Rugs and padding must be of a

thickness so as to aggressively minimize noise and shall be made for noise reduction,

such as sound absorbent material. The above described floor covering requirement shall

not pertain to apartments below which there is no living space.

D. Grievances/Complaints

Complaints regarding the service of the building and/or property or violation of these

House Rules must be in writing to the Property Manager or Board of Directors.

Grievances against a shareholder/tenant by another shareholder/tenant or by KSQ as a

community (as represented by the Board of Directors) will be dealt with in a common-

sense manner which respects the rights of the individual shareholder/tenant and KSQ as a

whole. Shareholders/tenants are advised to take the following steps in making their

legitimate grievances known:

a) Talk to or write to the shareholder/tenant you have a complaint against.

b) Be specific about your complaint so that the other person knows what happened,

when and where it happened, and why you believe there has been a violation.

c) If you can reach an understanding, forgive and forget.

d) If you cannot reach an understanding you may contact the Management Office to

complete a form outlining the complaint. Only written communication will be

considered.

If a resolution can‟t be reached between shareholders/tenants, the Board of Directors

reserves the right to require mediation between parties. If the complaint is based on

excessive noise and the Board of Directors feels the appropriate step is to authorize

mediation, both shareholders/tenants shall attend a mediation session with the co-op

attorney and members of the Board of Directors present. Following the mediation

session, recommendations will be issued to each of the shareholders/tenants in order to

try to resolve the matter reasonably and amicably. If the noise problem continues, it shall

be up to the Board of Directors to determine how to resolve the matter and if the Board's

determination results in legal action taken against a shareholder/tenant, that

shareholder/tenant will be responsible for all legal costs.

alteration, involving electrical, plumbing, carpentry etc., shall be made in any apartment

arrears or current unresolved complaints of record against the

shareholder/tenant etc.) who do not own a parking space. That

11

shareholder/tenant would have to prove to the office that they do not currently

legitimate shareholders/tenants of record.

space for ten (10) years or more.

ABOVE)

e) For any spaces still remaining after they were offered to shareholders/tenants

in accordance with sections a, b, and c above, the Board would be permitted to

rent the spaces out, to shareholders/tenants only in the same priority: first to

those who have no parking space and then to those who currently have one

space and are seeking a second space. The rental charge would be

determined by the Board but should be significantly higher than the current

rate per month.

f) In the event that a "spaceless" apartment is sold or in contract (and there are

still unsold or non-rented spaces), a notice could be sent to the new buyer by

the Board (or even at the interview) offering the space to the new buyer for

the current sales price

All shareholders/tenants with children under the age of 10 are required under New York

City law to have window guards installed. The corporation will install the guards at cost

and charge the shareholder/tenant for the installation.

a. New York City law requires all apartments to have a working smoke alarm.

b. New York City law requires all apartments to have working Carbon

Monoxide detectors within 50 feet of each bedroom.

c. New York City Law (Local Law 11/98) requires that all window air

conditioners (“A/C”) installed in multi-dwelling buildings (6 stories and

taller) be secured with approved wall mounting brackets. Also, NYC Fire

Code prohibits the placement of A/C units in fire escape windows.

15

d. If any shareholder/tenant has an air conditioner installed without brackets and

without proper support, or installed in a fire escape window, the

shareholder/tenant MUST remove the units or install them in appropriate

windows with the approved support and brackets. In the event a

shareholder/tenant has an air conditioner that is not properly installed, the

shareholder/tenant will be liable for any damages or injury caused by falling

debris (such as bricks or pieces of wood wedged underneath) or any other

issue that results from the improper installation/maintenance of said air

conditioner. Additionally, residents will be held responsible for any fines and

penalties that the co-op may incur for failing to comply with these NYC code

requirements.

N. Monthly Maintenance

Failure to pay maintenance and parking fees by the 7th

of the month will result in a late

fee determined by the Board of Directors. If the 7th

of the month shall fall on a weekend

or legal holiday, payment must be received by the first business day thereafter. In

addition, any shareholder/tenant whose account is (30) days in arrears shall be notified by

management, making a demand for payment in full. If a payment or necessary

arrangement for payment is not made, the matter will be referred to legal counsel for

appropriate action. Any cost for legal services in the collection of monthly maintenance

charges will become the obligation of the shareholder/tenant and added as an additional

charge on your monthly maintenance bill.

O. Emergency Access/Preparedness

In order to address any emergency, the co-op requires that each shareholder/tenant shall

provide a complete current set of keys for the apartment. Keys will be kept in a key

control box using „chain of custody‟ protocols to facilitate access in the event of an

emergency. If, in an emergency, it is imperative to gain access to said apartment and the

necessary key(s) are not available, forced entry will be used to gain access to the unit in

question, and the shareholder/tenant shall be responsible for the cost of damages. In

addition, shareholder/tenant or relatives contact numbers are required in the event that

said shareholder/tenant is physically unavailable. If locks are changed, it is the

responsibility of the shareholder/tenant to provide the new keys to the management

office.

Chain of Custody protocols will be adhered to at all times.

It is especially important that residents at risk be prepared before an emergency occurs.

Emergency plans must fit each individual‟s unique circumstances. Elderly residents are

especially vulnerable in an emergency. In addition to routine preparedness preparations,

elderly residents should take extra steps to ensure their safety and well-being during and

after an event. This preparation may require the assistance of a family member or

caregiver, and may include some or all of the following.

a) Arrange for a family member, friend or neighbor to check on you after an

event. If appropriate, consider giving one other person a key to your home.

16

b) Show those who may need to assist you in an emergency how to operate

necessary equipment. Or, prepare easy to follow, written instructions.

c) Have a plan to notify out-of-town family members of your situation before

and after the event.

d) Prepare a list of important phone numbers of people you may need to

contact in an emergency. Keep it near your phone, along with a copy of

your personal information, which will be helpful to anyone who may be

assisting you.

KSQ keeps a Resident at Risk registry. You can register by completing the

Registration form which can be obtained in the Management office.

It is the responsibility of the shareholder/tenant to adhere to safely regulations.

1. Fire and smoke detectors must be installed and checked regularly. Fire

extinguishers should be charged and inspected (tags are current, not expired).

P. Security

a) To keep all shareholders/tenants safe, we ask that you follow some simple

building security measures.

b) Door to door commercial or charitable soliciting, whether by shareholders/tenants

or outsides, is not permitted.

c) Never buzz in or open your door to a stranger. Require all utility/repair men and

service personnel to provide official identification before opening the door and

allowing entry into your apartment.

d) Never give building keys to any vendor.

Additionally, the co-op and/or its employees are not responsible for mail, packages or

other objects left in the lobby or at your door.

Q. Apartment Insurance

The cooperative's coverage takes care of the exterior structure and common areas like

hallways, meaning that you are responsible for your interior walls as well as your

personal property and liability exposures. Therefore, every shareholder/tenant must

acquire apartment insurance to protect themselves and the shareholders/tenants around

them. Shareholders/tenants shall be aware of their responsibility when it comes

to damage and repairs. Any negligence or accidental damage caused by

a shareholder/tenant or their guests is the tenant's responsibility.

R. Board of Directors Rights and Miscellaneous Rules

In an emergency, agents of the Board of Directors, including contractors or

workers authorized by the Board of Directors, may enter any apartment upon

notice at any time, for the purpose of preventing damage to the building or

property. The Property Manager, a member of the Board of Directors, or a Board

17

of Directors designee must accompany such person. If the problem is determined

to be the fault of a resident, the costs of such action, including the repair of any

damages, will be paid for by the resident in whose apartment such problem

originated.

Complaints regarding the service of the building and/or property or violation of

these House Rules must be in writing to the Property Manager.

These House Rules shall be enforced uniformly and in a nondiscriminatory

manner. Failure to enforce any rule on any occasion shall not constitute a waiver

or abrogation thereof.

Violation of the by-laws and House Rules are subject to an Administration

charge. The amount of the charge will be left to the discretion of the Board of

Directors, but will not be less than $25.00.

Subletting, Airbnb, renting or leasing any part of your apartment is strictly

prohibited. The Board of Directors has the right to evict any

shareholder/tenant who has been deemed to have violated this House Rule.

These House Rules may be added to, amended, or repealed at any time by a

resolution of the Board of Directors of this Corporation.

No employee of the corporation shall be used or employed by any resident for any

personal purpose during the employee‟s regular work hours.

No resident shall send any employee of the corporation off of the premises for any

private reason of the resident.

The following fees are required in connection with the resale of an apartment: a

non-refundable processing fee, payable to the corporation, for each application

submitted for the resale of an apartment.

Shareholders/tenants are responsible for ensuring that their guests act in

accordance with the House Rules. The Board of Directors has the right to hold

the shareholder/tenant financially and legally responsible for any damages caused

by a guest, employee, or family member of the shareholder/tenant.

If at any time we use an attorney for action against a shareholder/tenant for

violation of the rules, the cost of the attorney‟s fees will be borne by the

shareholder/tenant.

S. Election of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors shall be selected by the following procedures.

1. An election for the members of the Board of Directors shall be held at the

Annual Meeting if and only if the required number of shareholders/tenants are in

attendance or have submitted their proxies for the meeting. In the event that the

required number of shareholders/tenants are not in attendance or did not submit

proxies to represent their shares in a vote, then the-current Board members shall

continue for an additional term until the next Annual Meeting the following year.

18

2. KSQ‟s By-Laws state that it shall not be necessary for a director to be a

shareholder/tenant and are silent as to whether a director needs to be a resident,

but logic suggests candidates for election should be shareholders/tenants in good

standing.

3. It is preferred that candidates declare their candidacy by written note to the

Management Office at least three weeks prior to the date of the Annual Meeting at

which the election is scheduled.

4. Candidates are encouraged to provide a brief statement, outlining their

qualifications, which will be distributed to shareholders/tenants and copies printed

for the Annual Meeting.

5. Whenever practicable, there will be a Candidates Night in advance of the

Annual Meeting, at which interested shareholders/tenants may meet persons

running for the Board, hear their qualifications and platforms, and ask questions.

a. In keeping with House Rule number 1, no gatherings are permitted in

lobbies or hallways for electioneering or for any purposes other than entering or

leaving the building.

b. Similarly, in keeping with House Rule number 4, no notices of any sort

shall be posted in the hallways, elevators or garages of the building except by

management, nor shall any such be affixed to the doors or walls of any public

area.

6. Proxies will be distributed with the notice of the Annual Meeting, and ballots

will be distributed at the registration for the Annual Meeting.

7. Ballots will be preprinted with blanks to allow last-minute nominations from

the floor at the Annual Meeting.

8. How votes are tabulated: a. All shareholders/tenants will be eligible to cast one

vote for each share that they own, multiplied by the number of vacancies on the

Board. b. Shareholders/tenants may allocate their votes in any manner they wish.

9. Directors are elected annually.

10. At the Annual Meeting, each candidate will be asked to make a verbal

statement. This will be followed by questions from the audience.

11. All ballots will be collected and tabulated under the supervision of KSQ's

outside auditors.

These House Rules and Regulations may be added to, amended or replace at any

time by a resolution of the Board of Directors of this Corporation.
